EMPIRE BROADCASTS
TESTS OF EFFICIENCY DIRECTOR ON TOUR (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, last night. In what measure the Empire shortwave services will meet the needs of listeners in New Zealand, and the degree ol their shortcomings, if any, are the main reasons behind the visit of Mr. J. Beresford Clark, director of the Empire services of the British Broadcasting Corporation, who arrived by the liner Monterey from Suva. He was met by Profesor J. Shelley, Director of Broadcasting in New Zealand. Mr. Clark said he found that in the Pacific Islands the reception of the short-wave programmes from England was rather variable.
Although Mr. Clark will be in New Zealand for a fortnight only, in that time he will visit various districts in both Islands, and will discuss with officials and others the Empire shortwave services and their general elllctency from a Dominion standpoint. He is to leave by the Wanganella from Auckland on August 18 for Sydney.
